Jayapal: Republicans Denying Capitol Riot Is 'Biggest Threat to Our National Security'
[BREITBART] Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s "The Sunday Show" that Republicans who deny the severity of the riot inside the U.S. Capitol building on January 6 was "the biggest threat to our national security and our democracy that we’re facing now."
What a lovely world she must live in, if that is the biggest threat in it.
Capehart said, "Your reaction to statements that were made durning hearings early last week about the January 6 insurrection?"

Referencing Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) saying last week at a House Oversight Committee hearing that some people inside the Capitol behaved as if they were on "a normal tourist visit," Capehart said, "I can’t remember a particular member of Congress who said it was no big deal, it was like any old other day of people taking tours of the Capitol."

Jayapal said, "I think that’s the biggest threat to our national security and our democracy that we’re facing now."

She continued, "The way in which Republicans are not all but the vast majority of Republicans are refusing to even admit that the insurrection was real and they truly are a one-man cult. The only thing required to be in the Republican Party today is whether or not you swear to Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
and the big lie that the election was stolen, extremely dangerous."

#1 The Capitol Hill thingy was the biggest threat to the libDem idea of Democracy. It implied that common citizens own the edifices of government and not the elite. That is an idea people like them cannot allow to gestate. It needs be crushed totally. And what better way but to call it domestic terror.

#2 "the biggest threat to our national security and our democracy that we’re facing now."

The democracy died a long time ago. The danger to her 'security' is that the actors are now unmasked and naked before too many people to ignor.

#4 Anyone who disagrees with Democrats in any way is treated as a threat to our National Security when all they really are is a threat to Democrats' ability to win elections by hook or by crook.
